Downsizing to a smaller home in a secure community can help you save money in a range of ways:
- You’ll free up equity that’s sitting in your current home
- You’ll experience reduced living costs as your new home will be cheaper to heat and cool
- You’ll save on repairs and maintenance as your home will be brand new
- You won’t need to pay stamp duty or council rates
This means you’ll have more money to put towards the things you love (like travelling)!

Making the move to a secure community means you’ll have greater peace of mind when you embark on new adventures. It also means you can jet off on longer holidays without worrying about your home while you’re away.
Land lease communities typically feature gated entries, live-in managers and community-minded homeowners who will keep an eye on things when you’re away, offering you greater peace of mind, and eliminating the need to cut your holidays short for fear of your home’s safety and security.
- No maintenance for a stress-free return home
There’s nothing worse than coming home from a long, relaxing holiday to spend hours tending to an untamed garden and chasing up parcels that went astray. Luckily, moving to a downsizing community can help eliminate the post-holiday stressors!
Not only will you belong to community of warm and welcoming neighbours who can check up on your home while you’re away, you can also organise mail collection with your community managers. Most land lease community also take care of your front garden, so there’ll be no need tame unruly plants – you can put your feet up and relax!
- A welcoming community to share your stories with
The best part of coming home from a great holiday is getting to tell the stories of your adventures with friends and family. When you return home to your downsizing community, you’ll be met with friends and neighbours who you can share these stories and photos with over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine!
Belonging to a like-minded and tight-knit community means there’s always someone to share special moments with.
